(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;

Please note that responses to proper notifications under the DMCA or other applicable laws may include removing or disabling access to data or material claimed to be infringing and/or suspension, restriction, or termination of access to the Services. In the event of any removal or disablement in response to a notification, reasonable steps shall be taken to contact the person in respect of whom such action was taken so as to permit such person to provide a counter notification pursuant to the DMCA or other applicable laws ("Countering Party"), which may include providing Countering Party with the content of the original notification. Where a counter notification is received, such data or materials may be reinstated in accordance with applicable law.

(iii) A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that content at issue was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and

(v) Your physical or electronic signature.
